问题 Archaeologists have found wheeled ceramic toys made by the Toltec, twelfth-century inhabitants of what is now Veracruz. Although there is no archaeological evidence that the Toltec used wheels for anything but toys, some anthropologists hypothesize that wheeled utility vehicles were used to carry materials needed for the monumental structures the Toltec produced. Which of the following, if true, would most help the anthropologists explain the lack of evidence noted above?

选项 A、The Toltec sometimes incorporated into their toys representations of utensils or other devices that served some practical purpose.
B、Any wheeled utility vehicles used by the Toltec could have been made entirely of wood, and unlike ceramic, wood decays rapidly in the humid climate of Veracruz.
C、Carvings in monument walls suggest that the Toltec’s wheeled ceramic toys sometimes had ritual uses in addition to being used by both children and adults as decorations and playthings.
D、Wheeled utility vehicles were used during the twelfth century in many areas of the world, but during this time wheeled toys were not very common in areas outside Veracruz.
E、Some of the wheeled ceramic toys were found near the remains of monumental structures.

答案 B

解析读明白问题永远是解题时最重要的。本题让我们去寻求选项来帮助考古学家解释段落中所提到的证据的缺乏，实际上也就是寻求一个选项去驳斥某些考古学家的估计，(B)很好地实现了问题目的，因此(B)正确；(E)易误选，但(E)与问题目的不符，所以(E)不正确。
